Optegra Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon, Dan Lindfield , has been named as one of the industry’s top 50 stars by The Ophthalmologist in their 2017 Power-list. The Power-List is recognised as a prestigious award within the ophthalmic industry, and aims to identify some of the most profound surgeons who are shaping the future of the eye care industry.

Mr Dan Linfield, Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon at Optegra and Glaucoma lead at Royal Surrey County Hospital, has published no less than 33 journal articles in areas including glaucoma, innovative glaucoma surgical techniques, cataract surgery and aftercare, medical retina, uveitis, oculoplastics, paediatrics and cornea. The talented surgeon has also won 14 national and international prizes, including “The Treacher Collins Video Prize” at The Royal College of Ophthalmologists Annual Congress, UK, 2014 and “Best Video” at the International Congress on Glaucoma Surgery, Singapore, 2014.

Delighted at being included in The Ophthalmologist Power List 2017 , Mr Linfield said of receiving the accolade, “It’s such an honour to make this list. I am both humbled and excited for my achievements and efforts to be recognised by my peers. Being able to offer world class levels of surgery and care for Guildford and Farnham is what I continue to strive for”.

The achievement of Dan Linfield provides further evidence of Optegra’s ethos in providing leading solutions to the total A to Z spectrum of eye problems and conditions. While the decorated Dan Linfield specialises in Glaucoma and Cataract treatments, Optegra’s impressive network of highly renowned ophthalmic consultants are experts on myriad of treatments including the most advanced laser eye surgery and lens replacement techniques available in the country today. In fact, Optegra’s flagship Central London hospital is one of only a handful of places in the UK where the most advanced laser eye surgery (SMILE) is currently available. This latest 3rd generation technique is not only a keyhole, bladeless procedure but is also able to treat deeper prescriptions than the industry standard LASIK laser eye surgery.

Patients of Optegra have access to over 150 well established eye surgeons and specialists, and the company have several modern & dedicated eye hospitals nationwide. It is also the only eye healthcare group in the UK offering numerous complimentary vision correction open evenings each month. The free events are exceptionally popular, and afford attendees a rare opportunity to learn about modern vision correction techniques from expert surgeons and past patients.
